Mondelez Global LLC, the snack-food spinoff of Kraft Foods Group Inc., plans to lay off more than 100 workers at its business services center in San Antonio.

Mondelez spokeswoman Valerie Moens said the Deerfield, Ill.-based company was relocating the support operations to a facility in Manila, in the Philippines, as a cost-cutting measure.

Mondelez launched in October as the global division of the former Kraft Foods and is the new corporate parent of brands including Cadbury chocolates, Oreo cookies, Tang powdered drink mixes, and Trident gums. It employs more than 100,000 employees in more than 80 countries.

The San Antonio operations include processing invoices and travel expenses for both Kraft and Mondelez, Moens said.

The 114 affected employees were told of the planned move in October, she said.

The company on Dec. 20 notified the Texas Workforce Commission of plans to close the office at 84 NE Loop 410. The notice was required under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

“The decision to cease most of the operations and close the facility was a difficult decision to make. However, we are committed to assisting our employees and their families to make a smooth transition,” Assistant Human Resources Manager Gail Baker said in a statement.

Layoffs will be completed between March 29 and July 26.

Kraft Foods remains the name for the North American grocery foods business, while Mondelez focuses on expanding snack-food brands internationally.

The San Antonio support office was Mondelez's only operation in Texas, Moens said.
